  • a problem with the wall-flow filter disclosed in DE 10 2005 005 663 A1 is that it can lead to increased emissions of ammonia following NAC regeneration events and is poor at treating cold-start emissions e.g. from cold-start from the first ECE cycle of the New European Drive Cycle (NEDC).

  • NO NO x absorber catalyst
  • SCR selective catalytic reduction
  • the system as a whole treats HC, CO, PM and NO x more efficiently than prior art systems.
  • exotherm generated on the NAC function is able to maintain the wall-flow filter at a higher temperature than systems where the NAC is on a separate substrate monolith disposed upstream from the wall-flow filter.
  • a benefit of this effect is that passive PM conversion in NO 2 is promoted by the higher temperature and active PM combustion is at less of a fuel penalty since less energy is needed to increase the wall-flow filter to temperatures necessary for PM combustion in oxygen.
  • the NAC is regenerated by contacting it intermittently with enriched exhaust gas generated by engine management means and/or by introducing a reductant into the exhaust gas downstream of the engine.
  • enriched exhaust gas generated by engine management means and/or by introducing a reductant into the exhaust gas downstream of the engine.
  • a reductant such as rhodium or palladium.
  • the enriched exhaust gas also generates ammonia (NH 3 ) from NO x on the oxidation catalyst component of the NAC, which NH 3 becomes adsorbed on the SCR catalyst downstream and is available for NO x reduction of NO x that slips past the NAC in lean exhaust gas conditions.
  • the inlet channels of the wall-flow filter comprise a SCR catalyst disposed downstream of the NAC.
  • the SCR catalyst can be present as a separate coating on the wall-flow filter or the SCR catalyst can be integral with the wall-flow filter, e.g. either the SCR catalyst can be impregnated as a salt solution into the material of a virgin wall-flow filter, or an SCR catalyst can be combined with ingredients that form a structure of the substrate monolith that is then extruded into a flow-through monolith and, following drying and calcination, alternate ends of the channels are blocked in a chequer board pattern arrangement at one end of the substrate monolith and unblocked channels are alternately blocked at the opposite end thereof in a similar arrangement.
  • the porosity of the extrudate following drying and calcination is sufficient to function as a wall-flow filter, i.e. the porosity of the substrate monolith is at least 40%, such as at least 45%, e.g. 50% or at least 55% or up to 70%.
  • a wall-flow filter derived from a SCR flow-through substrate of extruded type is described in our UK patent application no. 0801161.1, filed 23rd January 2008 and entitled "Catalysed Filter”.
  • each inlet cell need be so coated, but it is presently preferred to coat each cell.
  • the geometric proportion of each coating is conveniently about 50:50, but other proportions may be used.

  • zone-coating techniques available to those skilled in the art (see for example EP 1064094 ) may move through the pore structure of the filter to sit within pores of the wall structure or even to emerge at the surface of the channels of the opposite "end" of the wall flow filter.
  • the wall-flow filter comprises a length extending from an inlet end to an outlet end, wherein the NAC is located in a first zone of substantially uniform length from 30-70% of the wall-flow filter length with an upstream zone end defined by the wall-flow filter inlet end.
  • the SCR catalyst may be located in a second zone of substantially uniform length from 30-70% of the wall-flow filter length with a downstream end defined by the wall-flow filter outlet end and the first zone and the second zone can overlap.
  • the NAC and the SCR catalyst are combined in the same catalyst as described in our WO 02/068099 .
  • the wall-flow filter can have any suitable cell density dependent upon the application of use. Typical cell densities for use in a diesel exhaust system are from 100-400 cells per square inch.
  • the wall-flow filter itself can be made of any suitable material, such as cordierite, silicon carbide or aluminium titanate etc.
  • the NO oxidation catalyst is an oxidation catalyst, e.g. containing platinum or both platinum and palladium supported on a suitable refractory oxide support.
  • it can be a NAC.
  • NO oxidation catalyst component is mounted close to the engine, for example in the exhaust manifold, or between the exhaust manifold and a turbocharger.
  • the wall-flow filter can be located immediately downstream of the NO oxidation catalyst e.g. in the same can or casing, or the wall-flow filter can be located further downstream e.g. in an underfloor location on a vehicle. In the case of an oxidation catalyst, NO oxidation is sufficient to assist in passive PM combustion on the filter.
  • Both the oxidation catalyst and the NAC embodiments of the NO oxidation catalyst contribute to improving overall HC and CO conversion, which may otherwise interfere with NO x storage in the filter, and also convert NO to NO 2 and for more efficient adsorption of the NO x as nitrate on the NAC on the filter. It can be seen by comparing Figures 4A and B that a majority of NH 3 for NO x reduction using the SCR is generated on the upstream NAC.
  • a further benefit of the upstream NO oxidation catalyst is to improve cold-start pollutant conversion, e.g. over the MVEG-A cycle (or New European Driving Cycle (NEDC)), because the wall-flow filter generally has a higher thermal capacity than the first substrate monolith.
  • the thermal capacity of the first substrate monolith can also be selected to achieve rapid light off of the NO oxidation catalyst, e.g. using a metal monolith or a smaller substrate to improve heat transfer.
  • the use of an upstream NO oxidation catalyst helps improve active filter regeneration control at relatively high temperature, because a thermocouple located between the NO oxidation catalyst and the filter can be used to ensure that the correct conditions are met; inadequate control can cause the filter to over-temperature causing excessive thermal ageing and consequent loss of catalyst activity over time.
  • the first substrate monolith can be a flow-through substrate monolith or a partial filter, such as those disclosed in EP 1057519 or WO 01/080978 .
  • the outlet channels of the wall-flow filter comprise a catalyst for converting ammonia and/or hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide.
  • a catalyst for converting ammonia and/or hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide This has the advantage that ammonia slip or hydrocarbon or carbon monoxide emissions during lean operation or during active or passive filter regeneration can be converted.
